Bad Timing

My name is Calvin, Calvin Wardlow....I manage the Verizon Wireless store in the same shopping center where my date, Cherry Johnson manages a Victoria's Secret...Funny we would both be working in the same shopping center...Fate just works out like that...

I had been checking Cherry out for some time now...a couple of months...but I hadn't made a move.. I had seen two guys talking to her in what looked like serious relationship kind of talk...

One guy ,I didn't know at all....The other guy was a professor at Community College...
Samuel Rasulala....I knew him...I had taken one of his classes...He hit on every fine young thing in his class that was willing...

It was ironically enough a bouquet of roses from him to Cherry that mistakenly were delivered to my store that gave me the opportunity to meet Cherry, get to go out with her and have one of the most intoxicating nights of sex in my young life....It was so intoxicating and good ,that I woke up the next morning and fixed her breakfast!! Something I've never done for a woman before!!

Cherry was just hot like that!   I drove her to work the next day and we did meet for drinks at Josies that night after work and agreed to go out again, but we never set a date and two months have passed.

I have another store that I also manage , a few blocks away, well about eleven blocks away to be exact( a subway ride away!) and I worked there for a couple of weeks getting them set up and then returned to my original location...I saw Cherry off and on, but it was just hi and bye...

We had lunch one day last week and agreed to meet again..Which brings me to this little wine bar....One of my favorites...It's quiet and away from people I know..
Cherry met me here and we are enjoying the wine and casual conversation!

II-

"You're ordering another bottle of wine?  Cal, if I didn't know better,I'd swear you were trying to get me drunk." joked Cherry.

"Drunk? Me? Nahhh,A drunk woman is no fun." I joked...

"A drunk man isn't either...." she said.

"Relax...I just have a slight buzz..After we leave here..you wanna go to Aqua Bar?" I asked.

"Ouuuu, big spender aren't we?  " she joked.

"I paid all my credit cards off just in case we really did get a chance to go out again." I said.

"For me?  Awwwww...I'm flattered." said Cherry.

She may have thought I was joking...but I wasn't...I really had made double payments on my Visa and my Mastercard, so they would be paid off by this time..

We left the wine bar and went to the Aqua Bar....The D.J.'s were spinning some hot new music tonight....and the drinks were flowing... We danced until we were sweaty and found ourselves laughing and gasping for air when we sat down..

"Whoooo...oh my god...that was something...I haven't danced this much in years." said Cherry..

"Years?" I laughed...

"Yes..Years..." she said.

"That was fun." I said.

All this drinking and dancing had made me hella horny and Cherry wasn't helping me with that tight dress on that was hugging every curve and that nice smelling fragrance ...

They played some Jamaican music...You know the slow grinding kind of music that my friends dubbed "Rub a dub " music...and Cherry and I began dancing real close...

 I pulled Cherry close to me...close enough to feel her body heat...I got an immediate erection...I was a little embarrassed and surprised...Cherry stared in my eyes kind of strangely...We were in a crowded room full of people... She slowly and descretely ran her hands down my leg, felt my erection and squeezed it a little bit....Her eyes grew wide and she looked at me...

''WOW!" was all she could manage to say....I smiled a bit...She shook her head and smiled a little too..

"Oh my Goodness Cal." she said and giggled as she put her hand over her mouth...

I took my suit jacket off and kind of used it to cover my pants....

Cherry whispered to me...

''Let's get out of here."

"Your place or mine?" I asked.

"Your place is closer." she said.

III-

Cherry and I stood completely nude in my bedroom....she stroked my now raging erection gently and just gasped...

''Oh My God..."she said.

"What?" I asked laughing sheepishly...

''I guess I didn't get a good look at it the last time because we tore into each other so fast." she said.

"Getting a good look now?" I asked.

"Yesssss...Yessssssssssssss..oh my goodness..." she said...

Our lips locked in a slow ,passionate embrace.....The more I kissed her, it seemed as though I got even harder.....She continued to stroke me gently...It was driving me crazy!

I caressed her breasts slowly and began kissing her from her neck down to her belly button...

She giggled like a school girl...I cuped her buttocks and pulled her closer to me as I began kissing her soft lips again, slowly, softly....

She began to tremble, slightly....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned....

She continued to stroke me softly slowly......I was almost to the point that I couldn't take much more...

I walked over to my night stand and got a condom out of the drawer...

"You might need two of them to cover that up." she said laughing..."WOW!" she said .

I opened her legs and I entered her very slowly as we both seemed to fall on my bed... Not surprisingly, she is already wet and I begin to maneuver very easily inside of her...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." she moans and cums very easily as I begin... She holds me and wraps her legs around my back as I really begin going in and out of her....

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..OHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSS."
she screamed..."ROCK ME DADDDYYYY...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." she continued....

I could've stayed inside her like this forever , I just kept pounding and she kept moaning and grabbing ahold to the pillows and tossing them and moaning and howling...and I kept pounding in and out ,in and out for close to an hour and a half with no signs of stopping anytime soon....I was sweating profusely....so was she....

I pulled out for a minute and just stared at her noticing how beautiful she was....

She pulled me to her and began kissing me...sloppy wet kisses and began massaging my penis with her soft hands..and begging me...

"Ohhhh, get back inside of me please Cal....I need you...I need you inside of meee..." she said. I was happy to oblige and I slid inside of her and began moving first very slow and then speeding up with each thrust...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOddddddddddddd...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good lawdddd...ohhhhhhhh Calvin, ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu babyyyyyyyy.." she moaned as I continued...she pulled at her sheets and began moving her head from side to side...

The bed began to rock from side to side.....squeaking something terrible.....the headboad banged against the wall gently.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmph..." I moaned...

Now it was me who came...I came harder than I had come before...shaking, trembling and exploding like a gusher....Cherry was coming too....Shaking violently and moaning
something terrible.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

''Wowww, that was worth the wait." I said.

"I'll say."she said.

"That's all I thought about since the last time." I said.

"Really?" she said laughing...

"Yes..." I said as we both drifted off to a very long and peaceful sleep. she snuggled up beside me and rested her head in my arms....All during the night ,she continued to fondle my penis....Almost as if she thought it might take leave of me and go off somewhere....

IV-

We woke up the next morning and realized it was Friday!

"Oh my God...I've got to get home and shower and change and get to work." said Cherry.

''Yeah...So do I." I said as I hurriedly got out of bed...

"Next time we do this...It's got to be on a Friday night." she laughed...as we both got in the shower...

We soaped each other down in the shower and continued to kiss and fondle each other....I lifted her up and entered her while in the shower....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Oh my God....." she moaned as I began thrusting away again..

Needless to say..We left my shower,clean and satisfied...

We dressed and I drove her a few blocks away to her apartment.....She leaned over and kissed me for a long time before she got out of the car...

"Thank you...I haven't had this much fun in a long time." she said.

"Me neither Cherry...We definitely aren't going to wait three months before we do this again." I said...

"Oh most definitely not." she said as she exited and headed towards her apartment.

I needed breakfast and some coffee....I decided to head to Sam Mother's joint...It was closer to me than Mabel Jenkin's Soul Food Restaurant, which is where I usually had breakfast on Saturdays...

I loved the food at Mabel's and I loved looking at shapely Mabel and her sisters, Corrie and Anita...Even her older sister, Victoria was a brickhouse...Mabel, Corrie and Victoria were married, plus they were older than me...but it didn't matter...I think the combonation of good food and T&A is what made her joint so popular amongst the males in the area...The younger sister, Anita was my age, but involved with somebody...She was still nice to look at...and the waitress, "Baby Phat " was saying a taste too...but after last night....the only woman I wanted to think about was Cherry Johnson...She had blown my mind..That was saying a lot!

Sam Mother's joint would do...In hindsight...it would turn out...I would've been better off going the extra blocks to Mabel Jenkin's Soul food joint.

There was a nice crowd in Sam Mother's joint and I sat by myself enjoying some Blueberry Pancakes, Sausage, Hash browns and a side of scrapple...I had coffee and an orange mimosa...

I was just about finishing up when I looked up and I saw her!!!!

"Bridget??? Bridget Jones?" I found myself saying...

She had been sitting at the counter...she turned around and looked at me in pure shock!

"Cal Calvin Wardlow?" she said.

"Oh My Goddd..Bridget..."I said.

She looked at me and hung her head a little bit.. I had a breif flashback of the last time we were together...

About seven years ago in a hotel room in New York City...

Making hot and crazy love almost as good as the love I had made with Cherry the night before...

Bridget!! Her flawless cocoa brown skin...her long, shapely legs wrapped around my waist in that bed, in that room...and all ten inches of me submerged in her .......both of us, sweating...moaning....Bridget moving up and down furiously and me with my eyes about to roll into the back of my head thrusting like it was the end of time and finally climaxing furiously, like a gusher...hoping amongst all hope that I had made Bridget pregnant so that she'd be linked to me forever!!!

But it was all for naught...This was two nights before Bridget Cashew was to marry ,Mike Jones...It was the first and only time we had ever made love....I knew that my chance to have her had been blown once again....

"Bridget please...please don't marry Mike Jones...You don't love him....You know you don't...If you did...You wouldn't be here in bed with me..." I pleaded that night..

"Don't do this Cal...I'm sorry...The timing between us was just so bad.." she said...

"In high school ,I wanted to tell you how I was feeling about you so bad...but I couldn't get up the nerve and you wound up dating Marco Gervay...Then the whole time we were in Temple....I couldn't seem to say anything to you." I said.

"You had four years Calvin...That was a long time...I thought you just wanted to be friends.." she said.

"Then when you went off to Fisk...I was gonna tell you then...but.....but.." I said.

"You tell me a few days ago...when I'm engaged...and I realize that I always cared about you too...I just-I just didn't feel as though you were interested..."she said.

''So now we know..Now we know....Call this wedding off." I said.

"I can't do that Cal...This was just- just too late. I'm sorry Cal." she said...

She got up...took a shower and dressed... I cried the whole time she was showering and dressing...

She walked toward the door....

"Bridget, everytime I think about you I'm going to feel this big hole inside of me.."I said.

"Then don't think about me Calvin.....Be well." she said and she walked out that door and out of my life...

That was in May, 2006...This was now....

"Calvin, how have you been?" she said and hugged me..

"I've been good...Lived in Atlanta for awhile......Back in Philly....I uh manage two Verizon Wireless stores...One up in the shopping mall across the street from Josies..and the other one about eleven blocks away.." I said.

"I just moved back to Philly myself...about a year ago...I have my own business...Two lingerie stores...They're about eleven blocks from here too...Lady Chatterlies Lover...panties and bras for the discriminating woman." she said...And the other one is called "Simply Underwear" a few blocks away. " she said.

"Those are your stores? Wow...I've seen them...just never stepped inside.  No reason to, but uh maybe now I'll drop by." I said.

"Ohhhhhh, you seein somebody?" she asked.

"Kind of..." I said.

"It serious?" she asked.

"Uhhhhh, well ,we've only been out twice."I said.

"If you're buying lingerie for her, it must be close to serious." she said.

"Well..you never know...I just met her about two months ago." I said.

"Ohhhh, I see." she said.

"So...how's married life? You got a few kids by now, I know." I said.

"I'm not married to Mike anymore...We've been divorced for over two years now.....In fact, he's remarried and moved out to Los Angelas. We didn't have any kids." she said.

"Oh........................Damn...I'm sorry to hear that Bridget......Well uh, you got a card?
Give me your card..I may come in visit your store, give you some business...Maybe we could go to lunch or somethin, catch up." I said.

"I'd like that." she said and smiled and passed me her card...

We exchanged phone numbers and business cards.....

"Well, I've got to open my store...I'll be talking to you." she said.

"Okay Bridget....nice seeing you again."I said.

"Same here Cal." she said and she left...

What was I doing? Why did I have to run into Bridget Jones/ Why did she have to be free now?  and me on the verge of a new relationship??...

Timing was everything....Timing was a bitch!
